Hi, I have a problem where my phone is not receving installing/uninstalling instructions from the web play store. I've factory resetted it and it works on stock rooted rom, but when I restore my old back up via TB with the same build and rom.....it doesn't respond to any web play store. I'm not concerned about the web play store, but concerned about the auto update.
I've frozen the recommended bloatware through TB, but I've also defrosted it to test. It is still not responding.
Quick note, I've also tried removing Google account, reboot, and sign in..... It is still the same.....I've also checked "back up to this account"
Have the same issue... did you find a fix?
It's working now, but I did a combination of factory reset, sign out, sign in, and using other IDs.....Not sure what worked, but that's what I did.

Hey Guys,
I updated to 4.0.4 last night by clearing the data for Google Services Framework and rebooted. Update went smooth. Noticed this morning that when I go to the Play Store website, it does not show the Galaxy Nexus under My Devices. Same thing for Google Dashboard. I am on AT&T in the US. Anyone else have this issue? Able to resolve it?
Thanks
Perhaps someone on custom 4.0.4 rom or updated via normal method I.e. Google push update can check if their devices are missing as well ?
If so it would most likely be an issue with 4.0.4 or Google play store

I fastboot flashed 4.0.4 update to my phone and it shows up in the Play Store. Just installed an app from the web page no problem.
Has to be something with the way you "forced" the update, OP. Try clearing your Play Store cache/data and rebooting, and logging in/out on the browser.

Check to see if you're logged in to GTalk, if not, log in.. it reactivates 'the heartbeat'.

I tried this. Same thing. Galaxy Nexus does not show up in Play Store on the Web. I am able to download apps fine on the device itself. Any other ideas? Anybody else's not showing up in the Play Store?
This might be a dumb question but are you able to get into the playstore via your nexus? If you can perhaps you should try to download something from your phone and that might activate the play store to accepting your phone there.
Same for me, not showing up via the website but am able to download apps with no issue.

Thanks. That did the trick!
So I got my phone showing up in the Play store by signing in the store again. However, the store force closes every time I try to download an app from the web-ui. Anyone else experiencing this?
Downloading from the web seems to be working as normal for me. There was an error (927) bit disappeared after 20 sec.
Yeah, the problem resolved itself on my phone too.
i just cleared the play data sorted it instantly
it seems the problem is not the 4.0.4 update but clearing the Google Services Framework data. I still cannot see the phone on play store but as suggested above I will wait for another 30 min or so to see if it comes up.
PS: still on 4.0.2

This worked for fixing something missing in my device Play Store App, on my Razr M - it has yet to restore my device via the web browser.
Have tried everything else except Factory Reset (trying to avoid this).
Update: A day later my device is back via the web ~ though I suspect it's related to me removing a Secondary Google Account last night.
Running 4.1.2 (stock rom, no root)
I’ve had my Epic 4G since August of last year. I ended service with Sprint in the following month and bought the Epic 4G outright to use as an Android device. So I have no data plan on it, I can only go online and download things if there is a wifi connection present. Since I have no home wifi, that means a lot of trips to McDonald’s and Starbucks and the local library. The phone I use to make calls is a cheapo phone on Cricket’s network.
Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I rooted my phone using QBKing’s tutorial video on Youtube. I am now on Gingerbread.FC09. Everything seemed to work fine. I went to a wifi spot, downloaded Titanium Backup from the Google Play store, everything still worked. I used Titanium Backup to delete four things: Amazon MP3, Nascar, Sprint Football, and Sprint TV & Movies. Nothing else. After that deletion, however, when I try to go to the Google Play Store on a wifi connection, it closes. Not force closes, just…opens than closes as if it was never open in the first place.
I have tried:
-talking to QBKing himself about it (he can’t figure it out either)
-clearing the partition
-clearing the Delvik cache
-finding the most recent version of Google Play Store, downloading it to my phone via mass storage, and installing it by double clicking the apk
-Uninstalling updates for Google Play Store (“clear cache” and “clear data” is always greyed out)
-Deleting Titanium Backup
None of these actions have had any effect. I can still surf the net normally, even upload videos to Youtube. Nothing has been effected except my ability to open Play Store. I even get update notifications that I have apps that need updating.
I have searched xda and while I have found threads with similar issues, none for the Epic 4G. I am not sure if I should take an answer I saw for a completely different phone by a completely different maker and apply it to mine. Plus I wonder if my problem is unique given that I have a phone with no service.
Other info that might help:
-I have Google Services Framework Version 2.3.7. I can’t seem to find a more recent version of that.
-Kernel Version is 2.6.35.7
-No roms, at all, I’ve been too focused on trying to get Google Play Store to work again to even think about getting and flashing roms.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Try removing your Google account and re-adding it.

Okay...I went through Accounts and Sync and selected the google account under Manage accounts. Selected remove account, got the warning if I really want to delete it, I selected remove account...then got a popup saying I can only remove this account by resetting the phone to factory defaults.
I've already backed up my phone through clockwork (ate up a bit of my microSD card but its there). So if the only way to delete my Google account is to factory reset my phone, I can get it all back in recovery? But won't it also "recover" the same problem?

Set up another google account, then delete your original one, then set it back up... it will only let you delete your google account if you have more than one set up....
I'm in your shoes as I use my non-activated Epic 4G over WIFI. Do yourself a favor and reflash with Cyanogenmod 9 release ROM and apps:

My Epic 4G has become great to awesome after doing so and Google Play works fine.

Okay, I just went to the local McD's for wifi, set up another Google account, tried to delete the old one...and it gave me the same warning that I have to reset the phone to factory settings to do this. Apparently the first Google account is connected to too many things to just delete it.

I believe you need to clear the data/cache from the Google account manager app in order for it to let you delete that account.
It's one of the google apps anyways. Can't remember exactly which one at the moment.

Okay I have the cyanogenmod saved to my sd card, but I can't seem to download the gapps zip from your link nor from google searches. I'll give it a try when I can. I am kind of hesitant to do this, but...I've already backed up everything in recovery plus I reinstalled Titanium Backup and backed up my apps, so...I should be good to go whenever the gapps zip becomes available. For now I am going to try and figure out what app GuidingArrow is talking about.
Okay, I found a functioning gapps from the official wiki site. So I have flashed my phone following, again, a QBKing tutorial. This Cyanogenmod seems pretty cool. My camera seems to be downgraded, but other than that, nice. I am about to go to a McD's and...hope for the best regarding the Google Play store.
Problem Solved
When I flashed it to Cyanogenmod 9, I soft bricked my phone by trying to install backup (oops). So, I used Odin to restore to stock then rerooted.
Turns out the problem all along was...nothing was mentioned in the vid I saw about flashing the gapps right after flashing the rom. But It was mentioned in the video for flashing to Cyanogenmod 9, so when I restored to stock and then rerooted I flashed gapps this time. And voila, I have the Google Play Store working again. I used Titanium Backup to restore my apps, readded my Google account, and everything is fine and dandy again.
The only thing is, I have decided not to go back to Cyanogenmod 9 for now, not without more research. One of the most important features on the Epic 4G (to me anyway), is the camera, and when I was briefly on Cyanogenmod 9 before I soft bricked my phone, the camera seemed...downgraded, to have less features than it has now. Just going to do more research on that end before flashing it again.
fixed

I've uninstalled quite a few apps from Play Store via web browser, uninstalled on my phone as well. And yet shortly after flashing, somehow Play store starts installing them. I did have a Titanium BAckup of the apps, but I don't recall it restoring them.
Any hints?
only thing i can think of is try and clearing the data/cache in the market and make sure its really not on your phone and try it from the phone not the web

Did you un-check automatic restore when you first signed in to Google?
+1 nice!
This morning Google play services and Google play store both stopped unexpectedly while I was on the Amazon app store. And now both are constantly giving me this message. I cannot open up the play store due to obvious reasons. I am running ecliptic kit Kat. I have not installed anything new in over a month. I have tried fix permissions with room manager but it didn't help. I've rebooted my phone, no help. I don't want to have to reflash this room but if I have to I will. While typing in this the messages appeared over a dozen times.

Do you have Titanium Backup installed? If so use it to wipe data on both apps, then reboot.

After doing that, it still didn't work. So I went into settings then accounts and unchecked everything that was set up to sync, then rechecked everything then it worked. Thanks for the help.

So two days ago I installed freedom on my phone. I patched minecraft for the skins and then just left it and the next day my friend came over and was using my phone as a hotspot but he couldn't use snapchat. It just wasn't loading anything even though everything else was fine and it worked fine when he connected to my wifi. I then noticed my snapchat wasn't loading anything either so i logged out and that was the last time i've been logged into snapchat for two days now. It just thinks about logging in for ages then tells me it cant reach the servers. The other problem is my playstore won't work. It says check connection and retry instantly and ive tried uninstalling all updates to play store, clearing cache and data etc. Another weird thing is my phone was taking ages to boot up. I removed freedom cus I suspect it has sabotaged my phone but I have no idea what to do about it. I use snapchat a lot and it's really getting to me as this issue makes no damn sense. Sorry for the rushed typing.
Factory reset?
Oh, and anything related to Lucky P****** is a taboo on XDA. The mods are dead serious about it, you might want to edit your post quick.

Thanks for the reply and I've edited my post now. I have narrowed the issue down to being google play services as snapchat requires that to log in. I tried to remove google play services to reinstall it but it can't actually be removed fully not even with titanium backup so now it's just one big mess. My google account has been removed from my phone and I can't add it back because it just tells me "There was a problem communicating with google play servers". I really don't want to factory reset my phone as I have it rooted etc and it's just a major pain in the arse to get everything back to how I want it so I'm going to just try and sort it out by trying different things.
Edit: I solved it. Went into the hosts file in etc/hosts and commented out the ip for google play services then restarted my phone and that allowed me to log into google play account and everything works fine now. It said my hosts file was last edited at 9 oclock of august 30th so I don;t know what edited it but I feel like it as purposely sabotaged.
I don't know if this might help but i remember i had the same problem (coudn't use play store right after using freedom) on my s3. When you're done with freedom just remember to click on "stop" in the app or play store won't allow you to access it
